C.C.S Music and Drama students just “Can’t stop the Beat” at “Hairspray” Musical Masterclass on Wednesday 12th March @ Millennium Forum, Derry.
On Wednesday last (12th) March, C.C.S Music & Drama students accompanied by Ms. Cavanagh & Ms. Douglas participated in a Music & Dance Workshop with Cast members from the Professional Musical Production of “Hairspray” Currently performing at the Millennium Forum, Derry.
The workshop included a variety of opportunities for our students, including Vocal audition preparation exercises, dance audition preparation exercises & vocal and dance Masterclasses with the team. The students gleaned an invaluable insight to the world of auditions and gained some useful tips on preparing and performing for auditions.
Our students were taught the popular song 'You can’t stop the beat' (in two-part harmony) and the accompanying dance moves. Following a Grand Finale performance of this piece our students were then invited to take part in a questions and answers session with the representatives from the cast of Hairspray. This was a wonderful opportunity to ask a selection of questions about the Music performance industry, touring, performing, prepping for auditions. We all listened intently to the stories of the different shows and countries the team had performed in and their insights into Musical performance.
All our students participated amazingly in this workshop and showed-off their superb singing and dazzling dance skills on the day. Very well done to all students who took part!
